In a concerning incident, Mr. Rahul Raikwar, the Branch Manager of Central Bank of India in Multai, has been accused of causing the loss of employment for Mr. Raju Barange, a kiosk operator affiliated with the bank.
Mr. Barange was removed from his role as a kiosk operator by Mr. Raikwar, who justified this decision based on the following factors:
- Alleged absence of Mr. Barange from his assigned kiosk center.
- An anonymous complaint filed against Mr. Barange.
- Accusations of irregular operations taking place under Mr. Barange’s supervision at the kiosk.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, Mr. Barange received his dismissal letter from the bank in English, despite his explicit request for communication in Hindi, a language he was more comfortable with.
It’s important to note that Mr. Barange had been operating under the Jan Dhan Yojana, a government scheme in India. According to this scheme, he was entitled to a monthly salary of Rs 5000 and a commission of Rs 2000. However, Mr. Barange alleges that he received only the commission and has not been paid his salary, which has caused severe financial hardship for him and his family.
The distressing situation has pushed Mr. Raju Barange to the brink, and he is contemplating the challenges he now faces due to his financial distress.
This incident highlights the need for a thorough investigation to ensure that justice is served. It is crucial to safeguard the welfare and rights of all bank employees, including kiosk operators, and address actions that lead to their exploitation or distress. Authorities must act promptly to rectify this situation and hold those responsible accountable for their actions to prevent further harm to individuals like Mr. Raju Barange.
